Miserable Night On Court But Drum & Bass (Always) Wins šŸ˜ƒ

Ugh, what a shocking performance tonight on court, I feel sorry for my double's partner who had to put up with such utter crap - we lost convincingly in both our matches 6-2 6-1... at least we didn't get 6-0'ed lol!

I could make excuses as to why I didn't play well like a new, heavier racket, unfamiliar court, muscle strain on my serving arm and all that jazz but truth be told, it's just a bottle job. Confidence was low going in to it and couldn't get in to a rhythm but we'll bounce back next time.

Tomorrow I'll be back at training and just taking out my anger on that damn tennis ball, it won't know what hit it!

Anyway, to recoup, I'll just slap on some drum & bass. I've been feeling that mix I made recently but I was scouring my Soundcloud for one I haven't shared for a while and up popped this mash-up of two tunes that I put together.

One of the tracks is a remix I did of Brukah's tune Ostseekuste and the other is a tune called Reflections.

Although the keys of the track are slightly different, it was actually by accident that I discovered they worked really well together during one of my DJ mixes!

So I thought I'd just mash them-up and it works pretty well I think!

DnB always wins, no matter how sh*t I was on court lol - enjoy the tune!

Canā€™t win them all man! Feels crappy to deliver poorly but thatā€™s okay, part of being human I think lol. Plus we arenā€™t paid athletes so itā€™s not too bad. Well youā€™re actually a paid athlete in a way, got paid on this one! :D

Lol, thanks for the pep talk :P

But yeah, I have a fiat mining job which pays for my match fees to play the game so shit does happen unfortunately but I'm bouncing back and playing with a new racket that I'm trying to get used to. Once I get to grips with it, I'll be back on form don't you worry!

Hahah sorry didnā€™t mean for it to be a pep talk :D

Iā€™ve got my tennis racket hanging up on the shelf! When we move I plan on getting that out and whacking some stuff around with our son. I enjoyed tennis a lot!

Yeah man go for it. My rackets were in a sorry state after 6 years of not playing but after getting back into it again from last September, I'm loving it again. It's a great sport to play! Just expect a lot of aches and pains when you first come back to it though šŸ˜

Aw, sucks you had a rough day on the court. You'll bounce back. Or at least swear a lot - that will make you feel better, too.

And yeah, DnB wins. šŸ˜ƒ

I chose to swear a lot and punch my pillow a few times when I got back. It had the added benefit of fluffing it up for when I eventually calmed down and went to bed šŸ˜‚

Swearing and random violence against inanimate objects often helps me, too. I support that. šŸ˜‚

Haha! It really is a life hack šŸ˜‚
